<.< LOL stealing. >.> *is guilty* Your good bro. My friend smokes it and he is funny as hell when he is on it XD Also, I love Ubuntu for the simple reason it is easy to use yet not as "locked down" as some other ones are. I have tried gOS and do not like it.

e_e I never really have liked Kubuntu. There isn't anything wrong with it, it is just the layout. Now black box is sexy and I could get behind it

Oh boy played with 9.04 for a few days now seems like those Kubuntu boys are moving up in the world, I'd say if there was a 64bit Windows Me they'd be giving Microsoft some competition. After reinstalling a few times I was able to get the ATI driver's working great and after enabling the "Kubuntu restricted files" I was able to listen to mp3's yay! Still working on some type of flash player and i don't always have audio but who doesn't like to hear speaker crackles unexpectedly

I hate Kubuntu with a passion, it's extremely buggy, poor choices for application/lack there of. It feels slow and bloated in comparison to Ubuntu. Ugh.

I know that's for 8.04 but it should work in 9.04.

9.04 is fast! I like this a lot, boots faster than Vista and is ready to use quicker. Now if I can get games and overclocking working then I might have to switch to Ubuntu full time
I've also disabled the system beep; who the f*ck thought that was a good idea to have the beep as default and have no way to disable it from menu?

You cannot overclock within ubuntu. Now if you have a desktop that you can overclock from within the bios, then it will work like a charm <.< I am running 3.4GHz right now but it shows up as 2.6 in the system monitor or 4.o other places

I meant overclocking graphics card, since my CPU is already overclocked from BIOS. One issue I'm having is that the workspace switcher isn't working, for some weird reason. Any ideas?

I am not sure. I am having issues with my display drivers ATM.... DAMN YOU NVIDIA AND YOUR CLOSED SOURCE DRIVERS! I NEVER HAD ANY OF THESE ISSUES WITH ATI!


It is pathetic... A powerful company like nvidia cannot make drivers work with new kernels while ATI works just fine and I never have to reinstall my drivers

Haha, glad I don't have my 9600 GT any more.
I might be onto a solution for my workspace issue, seems like your issue is a bit worse than mine though.
